Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how the FootyMate application ("the App", "we", "us") handles information when you use it on your iOS device. By using the App you agree to this policy.

Overview

FootyMate is designed with privacy in mind. The App does not require you to create an account, does not collect your name, email address, or any other personally identifiable information, and does not track you across apps or websites. All data the App stores is kept locally on your device.

Information We Do Not Collect

No names, email addresses, phone numbers, or account credentials
No location data
No contacts, camera, microphone, or photo library access
No usage analytics or behavioural tracking
No crash reporting telemetry sent to any third party

Information Stored Locally on Your Device

The following preferences and data are stored only on your device using Apple's standard storage mechanisms (UserDefaults and a local Realm database). This data never leaves your device except as described in the Third-Party Services section below.

Team preference: the team ID you select during onboarding
Notification settings: whether reminders are enabled and your preferred reminder times
Calendar preferences: your calendar-sync settings and alert timing
App settings: theme mode, haptic feedback toggle, onboarding status
Cached football data: match fixtures, standings, lineups, and statistics fetched from the football data API (public sports data, no personal information)

Device Permissions

The App requests only the permissions it needs to function:

Calendar: FootyMate can add match fixtures to your iOS Calendar app. You are prompted before this permission is granted, and you may revoke it at any time in iOS Settings.
Notifications: FootyMate can send local match-reminder notifications. You are prompted before this permission is granted, and you may revoke it at any time in iOS Settings. All notifications are generated on-device — no data is sent to a server to deliver them.

No other system permissions are requested.

Third-Party Services

API-Football (api-sports.io)
The App fetches publicly available football data (fixtures, standings, lineups, statistics) from API-Football. Requests sent to this service contain only league, season, and team identifiers — no personal information about you is included. Please review API-Football's privacy policy for details on how they handle API requests.

RevenueCat
The App uses RevenueCat to manage in-app subscriptions and validate purchase entitlements through Apple. RevenueCat receives an anonymised customer identifier and subscription status from Apple via StoreKit — it does not receive your Apple ID, name, or payment details. Please review RevenueCat's privacy policy at revenuecat.com/privacy for full details.

Apple
In-app purchases are processed entirely by Apple. FootyMate does not see or store your payment information. Apple's privacy policy applies to all StoreKit transactions.

Deleting Your Data

You can erase all locally stored App data at any time through Settings → Reset App Data inside FootyMate. This removes all preferences, cached football data, scheduled notifications, and the Footymate calendar from your device. Because no data is stored on external servers, there is nothing further to delete.

Children's Privacy

The App does not knowingly collect any information from children under the age of 13. Since no personal information is collected from any user, the App is safe for all ages.

Your Rights (EEA / UK)

If you are based in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have rights under the GDPR and UK GDPR including the right to access, correct, or erase personal data we hold about you. Because FootyMate collects no personal data and stores all App data locally on your device, there is nothing held by us to access or erase. If you have questions or concerns, please contact us using the details below.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, the "Last updated" date at the top of this page will change. Continued use of the App after any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
